<We were talking about being optimistic and being a liar. There are yielded chips, plenty of them.>

Elmer is talking about yields. I'm talking about speed bins. The last manufacturing "slip-up" AMD suffered was due to poor speed bins. AMD said that the speed problems were solved, but so what? By the time AMD solved them, Intel already took Celeron to the next speed level, putting AMD back into yesterday once again.

Technically, AMD isn't lying. But realistically, AMD still has the same problem with K6-x. It just can't keep up in terms of speed.

<How could AMD management knew that your freaking management will decide to go bloody ...>

Oh, I'm sure AMD's management knew that there would be a bloody price war. Maybe Jerry "The annual meeting was practically a love-in, honestly!" Sanders just didn't want to listen, and now he's paying the price for his ignorance.

<Please remember that all this happen at Intel shareholder's expence: Intel's real profits ...>

At least Intel has real profits, no matter how you slice it, spin it, or twist it.
